You can find the references here:I have not used a Pi with LinuxCNC for some time now. From memory the most success that I did have was when using a Pi4 with images made by elovalvo from this forum. I seem to recall seeing him mention an image here recently.

EG A RPi4 image with known good latency user xxx creates will be the same for user yyy & aaa. The only factors that can make a difference is whether wifi\bt & sound are on or any personal changes to config.txt, but the Linuxcnc RPi4 image is usable out of the box. Unlike PC's there is no variance ( apart from which model) tho I don't know if firmware will makes any difference, but generally older firmware don't seem to boot the latest image. Good cooling is a must.
RP-400 (1.8GHz) have a faster Processor than a RPi4 (1.5GHz), although they are the same platform, just different form factor and the keyboard controller is built into the RP-400.
RPi5 is a different beast due to the RP1 I\O chip (read the Raspberry Pi's version of a southbridge).

With the RPi once an image is created that gets good latency it will work on any Pi of the same model.
I have only tried this 64bit version on a sim so far.

here you wrote "you tried this ... on a sim". I am trying to get *any* pi3/4/5 running on a sim - yet in vain. Could you shed some lights on hoe you got there, please?
